Jebel Akhdar = Green Mountain in Arabic. A fitting name, pre-echoeing more Green Zones to come in Baghdad, Kabul, etc.. The Olde British Empire, criminal even on its death bed.. this was around the Suez Crisis period, when Eisenhower & Khrushchev together unceremoniously buried the old wretches.

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “Light a Fire….” 

About three days to June 12th… the air cover demanded by the Cokehead comes to join the festivities?? Even calm and steady Larry Johnson’s worrying openly about expansion..

(1) Rites on June 06…  A man casually remarking the June 06 date of the catastrophic dam breaching didn’t surprise him as it was a historic date led to my searching for western atrocities or significant events on this date:

• 1891 – birth day of Erich Marcks, German general in WWII who planned Operation Barbarossa
• 1944 – Commencement of Operation Overlord, Allied invasion of Normandy, France — commonly referred to as D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history.
• 1968 – execution of Robert F. Kennedy Sr.

However, except for RFK above, these don’t appear to be what was on his mind. He is a historian of Ancient Egypt and the western occult, so there’s something else.. likely something to do with the numerology of the date, a “66,” undoubtedly a favored day of skullduggery for deviants..

(2) The End of military supremacy! As the Ukies and their nazi handlers chose to burn through about 4 brigades in last 4 days of “the most trained and best armed brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” on a senseless optical offensive, there are now several major implications: the entire world watches this epic burning Pyre. These sacrificial lambs were trained by the West itself in western training grounds. So it is above all a burning of western prowess, training, arms, and standards – all trumpeted by their own media to the world. The epic self-immolation in motion! The ongoing loss of basic respect would require their torching of half of the earth’s surface to regain the Old Fear – for which they have not the arms, time, treasure or willing blood. Oh, the consequences of poking the Bear in his old Lair…

MKB had an interesting article in the Cradle… continuing the thought, that it wasn’t merely OPEC but OPEC+ that barred the rotten western MSM, closely followed by SPIEF also blocking them — this appears a focused Russian campaign to neuter the toxicity from any of their serious venues. The 64-million-dollar question, vital to the sanity of “Informational Hygiene:” will the Global Majority rapidly follow?? This could herald a seismic wave as consequential as dedollarization. And as necessary, to free the captive minds worldwide.

Second, there appears high Saudi-Russian-Iranian coordination. Note the mortar in the middle. And Russia’s privileged generational love affair with our India, and via China, its deeper ties with Pakistan, who now buys Russian oil in Yuan. So it appears Russia midwived the new Persian Gulf navy above.. to get the Pirates out. And once out, they cannot garrison either Syraq or Yemen, or send regular drones to Af-Pak…..

Excellent point about Kubrick’s selections. I agree most of his protagonists, especially after his formative years, were wooden and one dimensional.. maybe deliberately chosen since he was such a control freak?? Actors seemed just another piece in his sumptuous sets. He took hundreds of takes for a single scene sometimes!! Maybe Jack Nicholson wasn’t acting in the Shining and was truly driven mad as the shooting progressed, matching his story line at the Overton Hotel [California]… (lol).

Beyond the cinematography, sets, lighting, editing, music, etc… — what I enjoyed most about his movies is they were like dreamscapes with unusual layers and range, permitted them unlike any other by TPTB. They reveal to the discerning some stark truths of his society. He appeared chosen by the Narcissistic overlords to tell the tale obliquely.

And if each civilization, like a human, could be said to be in constant development, the current stage of the West as told by Kubrick was a most unhealthy one, manifesting madness and despair, in headlong flight into nihilism and self indulgence.

Our threads are growing so fast I will post a new one later today, and likely weekly from now on.

I never trusted him, and long before the DU issue. (1) He was nominated by Trump to be Vice Roy of Deutschland. This is a political animal, right aisle of the Uniparty. (2) His shining face during the discussions with Vlahos at Army-Navy Club. He was proud of his exploits as a stormtrooper of Empire with a life’s work against defenseless brown people.

What shocked me though was the brazeness. The absolute trampling of widely known history, for generations! This scared me, that his handlers would so completely burn his credibility going forward — an effective communicator who painstakingly built up his cred. This is like sacrificing the Patriots or a CBG even, given how reliant the madmen are on optics and narrative. Is Zone B being walled off?? Even the Judge was mute and did his part; one of tics when reading scripts is to bow his head, lose the eye contact and say as little as possible, letting the guest carry the pail.

This dovetailed with the prior segment by Crooke, refreshing & candid. The contrast was shocking — night and day. He said the crazies were in a one-way tunnel, no room to reverse, and would see it through to the bitter end. And a consequence appears the enforcement of Team Discipline.

Will the long expected Bifurcation of the Net now happen?? Somethings gotta give. If lunatics are determined to maintain their “Reality” despite manifest Loss, then they will need to seal off their captive populace from the lucid 90% Rest of Humanity. A hermetic sealing from without and strict ever more malleable and grandiose narrative within.

A gift for emerson & friends: Barry Lyndon (what a Shubert! SPOILERS if not seen) — a commentator mentioned the special night camera lent by NASA to the maestro Stanley Kubrick for filming the fabulous moon landing footage:

“an incredibly fast camera lens (for camera nerds: f/0.7 !) from Zeiss that was originally designed for use on the Apollo missions for taking pictures from orbit of the dark side of the Moon. But the lens didn’t fit a normal movie camera, so he had one camera modified at huge cost for use only with this lens. Also, the lens had an incredibly narrow depth of field, so anyone moving as little as a couple of inches farther or closer to the camera would go out of focus. So during shots, the actors had to be extremely careful not to move toward or away from the camera, and only move sideways to the camera. All of this just to film a few scenes by candlelight!”

Maybe I will revisit this movie after decades. It is a most sad film. Is in the life (real and acted!) of the protagonist Ryan O’neal encapsulated all five stages of western civilization? I don’t mean as the spiteful ww1 French politician said of Americans, that they sped up from barbarity to decadence without intervening civilization. What a hateful thing to say. Maybe all that rancid cheese he ate? And being routinely beaten by Germans and Russians like a Congo war-drum? No, I mean the beautiful classical view of the five stages as expressed in the paintings of Thomas Cole and his era — Freedom, Glory, Wealth, Vice and Corruption; alternatively expressed as the Savage state, the Pastoral state (considered the ideal), the Consummation, the Destruction, and the Desolation. We do appear primed at the junction of Destruction and Desolation.

Kubrick had such optimism and fire in his early phase. Even Dr. Strangelove had capacity to laugh at the lunacy. But maybe after the Kennedys, Vietnam, 1968, etc.. he gave up??? Starting with early 1970s Barry Lyndon, he’s all dark and bitter and hates elites and authorities and conventions with unbridled passion.. just watch the frozen face and hopeless eyes of O’neal in the short clip above.

These sort of stories will now proliferate. RT and Russians appear to be covering for the absolute debacle in process. They dont want to humiliate the crazed West too much, to prevent regrettable escalation. There are stories of Belgian unemployed being put into porn industry, sex contests in Sweden, trafficking of Ukie kids to Spain, etc etc etc….

The game plan appears to be to put a boa constrictor hold on them and to asphyxiate as quietly as possible, without resultant thrashing and excess mess. If the lunatics must send the last batch of foolish Ukies to their unneeded death, they’ll be accommodated but on Russian blueprints. Note how quiet the Ukies have become (outside of terrorism in diversionary Belgorod), trying to mask the debacle; yet Russians remain formulaic without triumphalism. What is in motion is a historic crime against mindwashed proxies. There will be absolute hell to pay for the combined criminal West for all this.

We can also expect the atrocities and terrorism to go through the roof in coming days, as their panic and need to distract skyrocket. For example, they appear to have finally blown that dam leading to the feared flooding of Kherson city

Yes emerson, when I watched those movies as a youth, even when naive, I sensed malignancy, like watching horror which assaults. Such superior cinematography, elegant costume, beautiful editing, and exquisite camera work — these were the best, enjoyable to the senses. And yet they covered subject material and topics which destroy the viewer! Invariably incest, rape, sodomy, pedophilia, aggression, and countless other abuse. I suppose, there were many ways to blunt resistance by the moral against a cruel Empire. For those that marched, the baton and rubber bullet. And for intelligentsia, these works cauterizing the very soul, making them uninterested in sociopolitical fate of their wider brethren.

I shouldn’t have been so sarcastic about lefties. For sure there were sincere ones, even in filmmaking. I don’t know about the Canadian politicians. However, as Ehret indicates some were feared by supranationalists for being patriotic and not with the plan.. see his eye catching quote by Laurier in above article.

Yes Mr P, Mac Sweeney was a joy. I agree about the boiler plate at the end. RT still has the two ending paragraphs. The Overton window closed! And indeed, how many can bear to look at the naked truth? When was the West humane in the last millennium? Can a young mother hopeful for the future of her child fully face the implications? So maybe it isn’t about Overton windows at all.. but one step at a time. This SMO appears largely economic and psychological. As the West escalates beyond current terrorism on Telegram and in Belgorod region to frank bestiality, the latter will mature too, and bring into question many prior assumptions.

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “Forks in the Path” 

(1) Lessons for Ukies and NATO from “Paths of Glory (1957)”… the WW1 Exceptionalist mindset and its diminution of the worth of human lives had consequences for entire societies — bleeding white a generation and toppling existing corrupt elites

(2) After China’s protective Great Firewall and OPEC, Russia too rolls out “informational hygiene:” Reporters from “unfriendly” nations are banned at June 10 SPIEF… let’s watch this. As documented in two or three Lineaments, Russia messaged this was coming. It’s an essential move combating toxic and irredeemable western MSM
